oh, man, that is just lovely! I read it out loud and then my wife and I read out loud and cheered!

I should get my new Yemeni neighbour over here to read your blog..I'm glad you're still around but sometimes I don't understand a thing that's being 'said'! ha.
Oh well, c'est dommage. The picture is a refreshing one, not one people associate Lebanon with since last summer's horror. Stay warm in the big apple,
Ingrid
Your post makes me want to book my one-way ticket back home now, bi hal takkeh...
Thanks for the uplifting eye-opening heart-warming post :)
Beautiful picture in deed. When I visited Lebanon, around a year ago, I was shocked of how they were cutting the trees from the mountains to build houses and roads. It really looked like there were no planning whatsoever. Or at least no "green" planning at all.
I did also see there some members of the "Green Peace" which made me at least hopeful that some people do care and trying to do something about it...
